The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs (P)

In this uproariously dark comedy set in Edinburgh, Irvine Welsh spins a tale that is equal parts grotesque, hilarious, and unflinchingly raw. Danny Skinner, an Environmental Health Officer with a penchant for hedonism and self-destruction, embarks on an obsessive quest to uncover the identity of his father—a secret his mother refuses to reveal.

His fixation entangles him with Brian Kibby, a painfully shy and awkward colleague whose clean-living lifestyle couldn’t be more at odds with Danny's. But when Danny’s simmering resentment manifests in bizarre and sinister ways, the two men find themselves locked in a surreal and destructive bond that pushes the boundaries of their realities.

Described as "vintage Welsh" by the Sunday Tribune, The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs is a wild ride through the darker recesses of human nature, laced with Welsh’s signature wit, sharp social observations, and a flair for the grotesque.
